Whole genome sequencing of M. tuberculosis for disease control in high-burden settings: study protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial evaluating different community-wide intervention strategies in rural Madagascar.
Background: Retrospective and descriptive molecular epidemiology studies have shown that Mycobacterium tuberculosis whole genome sequencing can identify outbreaks and disease transmission events with higher resolution than conventional epidemiological investigations. Those studies have strengthened our understanding of genomic polymorphisms correlating with person-to-person transmission and helped resolve putative transmission clusters. To date, systematic genomic surveillance programs implemented for M. tuberculosis were only implemented in low-incidence settings. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an impact of routine M. tuberculosis whole genome sequencing on tuberculosis case detection in a high-incidence setting.
Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial will be performed. Forty-eight rural village groups (or Fokontany) in the Vohibato district of Madagascar will be randomized to one of three interventions arms. Arm 1 (standard of care) involves healthcare facility-based passive case detection with smear microscopy testing. Arm 2 (best practice) consists of active case finding and Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra PCR testing followed by household contact investigations. Arm 3 (novel intervention) includes the same interventions as arm 2, with addition of sputum culture and M. tuberculosis whole genome sequencing for all newly diagnosed cases. In arm 3, molecular suggested putative outbreaks are investigated, and additional TB suspects are appropriately tested. The intervention observational period will be 2 years. The primary outcome will be the number of detected cases/100,000/year in each arm after 1 year of intervention.
Discussion: This study is designed to determine whether there is an impact of prospective whole genome sequencing-based molecular typing on tuberculosis case detection in high-incidence settings. Investigating potential outbreaks and focusing active case finding in spatiotemporal settings where disease transmission is suggested by genomic typing is hypothesized to improve case detection in rural communities.

期刊介绍:
Trials is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that will encompass all aspects of the performance and findings of randomized controlled trials. Trials will experiment with, and then refine, innovative approaches to improving communication about trials. We are keen to move beyond publishing traditional trial results articles (although these will be included). We believe this represents an exciting opportunity to advance the science and reporting of trials. Prior to 2006, Trials was published as Current Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine (CCTCVM). All published CCTCVM articles are available via the Trials website and citations to CCTCVM article URLs will continue to be supported.
